After returning from climbing Mount Shasta, I was sooo tired. But then the rest area north of Weed was hot and not shady, so I drove further north to the rest area north of Yreka... which was even hotter. Ugh. I pressed on driving north in a somewhat loopy state of mind. I found a nice shady spot near the lower gate for Mount Ashland. This spot was not only good for sleeping in the car due to somewhat mild temperatures, it presented a nice starting point (albeit longer than I wanted) for hiking up the Mount Ashland road. If I had been thinking a little straighter, I probably would have driven up to the 4x4 road entrance. Oh, well. The views from the summit were great, and I had a very nice conversation with some locals who had driven their SUV to the upper parking area.

First day of three day COHP trip, we finished early on Mt. Eddy so we bagged Mt. Ashland in Oregon en route to Grants Pass for the night. Drove up to within about a half mile of the summit. TR is HERE.

Hike this one morning before heading over the Upper and Lower Table Rock near Medford. Was able to safely drive and park a small 2WD sedan right to the beginning of the 4x4 access road, and hiked up that to the top. Once I'd reached the top, I was passed by a senior citizen in a Mini Cooper, so I suppose you could drive all the way to the top if you'd like. Amazing view of Shasta and a fun summit to wander around on, despite all the equipment and buildings.

A high school cross country teammate and I ran to the summit the night before the Siskiyou Outback 15k race which is on the same day as the big 50k race. Easy summit but racing on a 7000 foot mountain was a lot harder.

On my way back to Nor. Cal. from Medford and decided to hike it. Parked at the ski area and hiked the maintenance road to the summit. I'll have to try the 'Marathon Route' that Dennis Poulin described as I watched a great mountain bike race down that route to Lithia Park. Great sunset.

Was skiing with freinds (Lived in Grants Pass at the time), took a break and hiked up the road to the summit. Didnt think anything about it until I read Larry"s account(cascadetravler). Overcast, no view this day.

"So I was sitting in my cubicle today, and I realized, ever since I started working, every single day of my life has been worse than the day before it. So that means that every single day that you see me, that's on the worst day of my life."
